Special Birthday Boy
>> Tuesday, August 2, 2011
Hi Everyone,
Are you like me and find boy, guy and masculine cards so hard to make? If I can't put a bow on it, or cover it in sparkles, I always seem so lost...lol!
Well, I think this sports themed stamp from DRS Designs named Four Corner Sports was just the thing I needed to make my birthday card. You get all four images on this one stamp, and I chose to ink them separately and use them to make my background on a card that has the Birthday Boy sentiment as the focus. I added some Distress Ink to the edges of my card to toughen up the look. What boys are clean and pristine, right? I love the way this simple card turned out.
In case you were wondering, the football embellishment is one of those "foamies" from the kids area at the craft store. I bought a whole bunch for favors that I made for a football party ages ago, and yes I still had some leftover. So happy it looks right at home on this card.
Thanks for visiting us today!

Karin - WHat a great masculine card! Love your strips with the sports theme!
Karin, great job using the strips as dp with the individual balls stamped on them. Great idea. I just may have to borrow it!
I can't tell you how much I LOVE this card! The dark colors, the 4 strips, the sponging. You were certainly on your "game" when you made this :)
What a fabulous "boy" card, Karin! Love the sports strip bg and it's one of those that makes me go "why didn't I think of that?" Great job!
Love the strips in the background! This is a great boy birthday card!
This is an excellent card Karin! I love how you did the background - what fun!
